Last week was quaiet in respect to racing kayaking. Only 2×2 trainings, 2 times with racing kayak and two times with sea kayak.

On Monday I made around 30 minutes with racing kayak, only one stop. On Thursday, 5 circles and maybe 45 minutes? 2 stops. Every circle is longer and longer with few meters. On top of that, I tried to manage the situations where I had to pass other kayakers who made waves. That is difficult for me with a racing kayak.

This is actually quite fun to think about. Only a year ago I felt scared passing other kayakers while I was in a sea kayak or a random speed boat. Today, when I go training with a sea kayak, I have no fear. To be honest, my courage to paddle in a sea kayak has risen many-fold. At the same time I can feel how slow the sea kayak is and how much effort I have to put in. Thus, sea kayak is now for physical training, usually 5-6 km of strong paddling. But it is the racing kayak that gets my motors running these days 🙂

Pildistamine meresüstas. Liiga ebastabiilne veel võistlussüstas. Photoshoot in a sea kayak. Too unstable in a racing kayak for selfies.

On my last training on Thursday, a friend and a photographer Arp Karm was with me, following me on the shore and taking pictures for unique portrait shots for my work in Personal Branding Agency. Kayaking has become a huge part of my lifestyle and brand.

New week is about to arrive. Lots of work, studying ahead, it will be juggling to get enough trainings to feel comfortable in a racing kayak by autumn and before the long training break in winter. Should plan a longer kayaking trip in France?
